  Jw upbringing and retarded social growth.

  by AK - Jeff in

  i was raised a jw, by an inactive jw mom.

  looking back, and reflection on my childhood, causes me to wonder.. i honestly did not miss the holidays, for example.

  i never had them, so nothing was taken away in that regard.

  AKJ,

  I have had trouble making friends and feeling inadequate socially for my whole life. Since I came out a month ago I feel like I am becoming a social person once again...

  "You are my witnesses is the utterance of Jehovah."

  Interestingly, the Israelites were witnesses but didn't go to meetings, field service, but represented God by their conduct. So using this scripture doesn't mean a thing...

  I wrote "volunteer coordinator" on my resume.. and I got hired as a supervisor...

  I explained (since I was PO) that I was responsible for coordinating the activities of 120 volunteer workers. Organizing activities, schedules, etc...

  2. friends

  hello, just want to highly recommend the danish film, "worlds apart" now being screend at the tribeca film festival in new york.

  the acting is superb and the filmakers represent the witnesses accurately (to the "t") withoug making them appear fanatic.

  after all, these are people sincere in their beliefs no matter how absurd.

  I had a totally accidental and unplanned fade, and that was way before I found JWD. I was just so bummed and discouraged

  Kinda my thoughts too.... I have been fading without realizing it since Sept of 07. But I still didn't face up to the fact that it's not the truth until about a month ago...when I realized that not even I considered myself a JW.

  I could care less if I am DA or DF or faeded or whatever. I'm not going back. I've already told this to the elders... the balls in their court now, but their not swinging. maybe they're waiting for the next CO visit to clobber me...
